TARA HOUSTON

Say Hell-o to Tara!
Hi! My name is Tara, I fell in love with the art of body modifications about 16 years ago. I fell in love with the passion & dedication, and most of all the opportunity it gives to express individuality. My art helped me to gain my confidence & I started modeling in 2018. I’ve gotten to travel & meet so many new amazing people since then. I placed 2nd in the Hell City Hotties competition in 2019 and look forward to being on the stage again. Although the pandemic set things back a bit, I’m excited for a new beginning. I’m a Vet Tech during the week & I bartend during nights & some weekends. My hobbies are painting, dancing, reading, & caring for and finding forever homes for animals wherever I can be of help.

Say Hell-o to Jenny!
Hello, my name is Jenny, my love for tattoos started when I was younger, when I growing up around my uncles whom were heavily covered in tattoo/tattoo artists, it always inspired me, and made me want to become heavily tattooed/modified myself.

Miss Red

Say Hell-o to Miss Red!
I have been modeling off and on for about twelve years now. I have been in a few short films, music videos, part of a clothing brand and now a baby burlesque performer. When I'm not doing anything model related I am a full time graphic designer during the day for an adult company. Over the past few years I have started working on getting covered with tattoos as it has always been my dream to be a walking work of art! My love of tattoos started when I was younger watching both my parents getting tattoos. Nothing better than being a constant art piece for the rest of your life!

Ryann Reign

Hi! I'm a freelance model from Pittsburgh that goes by the name Ryann Reign. I've been a model for most of my life off and on, but got more seriously involved in the last few years. I do commercial to nude work and everything in between. I am in the process of building an agency to help other freelance models connect with reputable photographers and also with brands looking for models. I also offer boudoir workshops to models and non models alike. I'm a huge believer in the positive experiences that come from stepping into a space outside of our comfort zone that results in beautiful images of ourselves. I am a recent law school drop out, so I'm smart but realistic lol (massively complicated and unplanned divorce). Mostly I'm just out here being my best self and trying to be a solid example to other chicks (and my daughter) that they can do whatever they damned well please.

FINE ART GALLERY AT HELL CITY TATTOO FEST
Ohio Second Floor Ballroom
If you’ve ever experienced Hell City, you’ll realize that the second floor of the festival is always booming with special events such as live painting, seminars, a tattoo theater and the fine art gallery, the Big Bar on 2, Hellywood and much more! As always, Hell City brings new and exciting events for the artists, collectors, enthusiasts and attendees and, every year, we listen to our artists and attendees as to what they would like to see at the fest. So, at the Columbus festival, we extended the room where the Wet Paint project takes place to create a brand-new second floor ballroom! This new and exciting addition to the second floor ballroom of Hell City now allows us to feature more tattooing as well as a variety of new shopping vendors including body jewelry, tattoo clothing, fine art prints, and various oddities that you won’t find any other tattoo convention!
New at Hell City Killumbus 2019! We’ve expanded our second floor ballroom to host even more extraordinary and talented tattoo artists! This will make 2019 the largest Hell City yet!

From flesh to canvas!
The Hell City Tattoo Festival Fine Art Gallery features many other works of art in various mediums. Works displayed in the fine art gallery are from attending Hell City tattoo artists who showcase their other talents including paintings, sculptures, and flash. Be sure to swing by the Fine Art Gallery to see Hell City artists take their art from flesh to canvas! Come feast your eyes on all of the incredible paintings that will blow your mind!
